Rachel Maddow announces an all out counter attack

116. Democracy is in peril

It has been increasingly clear that the march toward an oligarchic order has been progressively taking shape since the advent of the Internet and the reporting of people (at the time considered gullible) by the abundance of information available to them at their fingertips, what has not been increasingly apparent is any effort consigned to disabusing those same susceptible people from information which is meant to influence them to their detriment, and their disempowerment.

Our fonts of information have to be trusted, reliable and verifiable. As much as Rachel Maddow IS we have to be purveyors of truth and perpetuators of truth and that line of communication has to be bi-directional.

Think about this, since 1965, we've had these voices which have emanated from the progressive social movements calling for freedom, justice, equality and fair treatment under the institutions which have impacted the lives of people. Discrimination and disenfranchisement was cultivated into gentrification, redlining, the war on drugs, mass incarceration. Ascribed criminalization, dehumanization, disregard and the creation of the myth of exceptionalism.

That same process of diminishing the traditionally disregarded elements of our nation in the form of the Poor, Black, Brown and White. The working person - regardless of color, is in danger of being placed into a Caste designed by people who believe themselves our betters, the war of information speaks to a terrible reality.

The greatest weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.
The society is you, the ruling class, the monied interests and their supporters are they who would subjugate you from the liberty you hold dear - we need to organize like our lives depend on it. Support independent sources of news and information and disconnect from the corporate power structure which broadcasts signals of control.

- Or is that too much at one time?
